GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION


Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of Updated Systems of Records

AGENCY: General Services Administration.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: GSA reviewed its Privacy Act systems to ensure that they are 
relevant, necessary, accurate, up-to-date, covered by the appropriate 
legal or regulatory authority, and in response to OMB M-07-16. This 
notice is a compilation of updated Privacy Act system of record 
notices.

DATES: Effective May 27, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Call or e-mail the GSA Privacy Act 
Officer: telephone 202-208-1317; e-mail [email protected].

ADDRESSES: GSA Privacy Act Officer (CIB), General Services 
Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA undertook and completed an agency-wide 
review of its Privacy Act systems of records. As a result of the 
review, GSA is publishing updated Privacy Act systems of records 
notices. Rather than make numerous piecemeal revisions, GSA is 
republishing updated notices for one of its systems. Nothing in the 
revised system notices indicates a change in authorities or practices 
regarding the collection and maintenance of information. Nor do the 
changes impact individuals' rights to access or amend their records in 
the systems of records. The updated system notices also include the new 
requirement from OMB Memorandum M-07-16 regarding a new routine use 
that allows agencies to disclose information in connection with a 
response and remedial efforts in the event of a data breach.
